Sporcle Sunday: Sacramento Kings Coaches

by Tom Ziller on Oct 3, 2010 7:00 AM PDT in Old School

Let's turn to the sidelines and see if you can recall the names of all 12 head coaches in Sacramento Kings history.

Sporcle: Kings Coaches >>

This one won't be too challenging for the old-timers. And by old-timers I mean those of us who suffered through interminable seasons of Channel 31 bludgeonings at the hands of every team not named the Clippers.

easiest one yet.

There was only one possible stumbler, IMO. I am not sure if I should hint with the 70’s rock band or the Cretaceous period King,

Overall, this is an incredible tribute to Rick Adelman who stands out like a giant sequoia in a bonzai garden. The won/loss records of the list of coaches reveal that the Kings have had a trying history. Will Coach Westphal be around long enough to see his overall record break the “even line”?

No doubt

Adelman’s W-L record is why I included them all. Stands out like a green thumb.

spelling

I found out I couldn’t spell a number of the coach’s names correctly

Childress then flew to Greece and asked the team if they would pay him in gold bars, hookiers, weed, and marijuana. The rest is history.

Took me 57 seconds

I actually had a temporary brain fart on the first ever Sac. King coach. More coffee, please.

wow...I could not think of three of them

I guess I never really paid attention to the coaches when was younger.

Er...

My Kings memories begin with GSJ. Only got one before his tenure. After that, though, very easy.

When discussing two opposing point of views, the truth often lies somewhere in the middle.

some real standouts in that pre-GSJ bunch

The immortal “welcome to Hell” line was apparently due to someone being a dick, the reach for the stars failure, and of course, the most lovable one who gave it his all and for a second or five had us believing he had fallen overboard from the barely afloat ship to visit Davy Jones locker (and of course JR being JR they thought he was joking and called a “T” on him). The rest were a collection of Natts, particularly the stumper, and remained so until the oft-exasperated shrugger Rick arrived to take Sacramento where no man had gone before.
